SOCIETY NOTES FROM VIENNA.
T'he picture gallery of Count Harrach, which is in his palace on the Freyung, will open on May 15:
Mr. Reese, who left, for Paris a few days ago, has made very large purchases here, which he has taken back with him to Paris. He purchased some rare paintings and pottery, with which he will embellish his Pa,ris house.
Signor Mascagni will give a concert next Thursday in the large Musikvereinsaal, after which he will leave Vienna for Rome.
M. Slessak, the tenor, who was to fill a short engagement at the Imperial Opera, and who has arrived here from Brcslau, is so ill that he will probably not sing at all during the month of May.
A new star is rising, so those who know say, on the musical horizon, and this time it is an American. Mr. Howard Pfaelzer, of Philadelphia, who is studying here with Professor Robinson, is said to have a most marvellous tenor voice. Mr. Pfaelzer intends studying' two years longer in Vienna, after which time a very enterprising impresario has already engaged him.
Among the latest arrivals at the Hotel Bristol are: Prince A. zu Loewenstein, Count F. Fiirstenstein, Mr. L. Russell, of Cincinnati; Mr. S. R. Guggenheimer, of New York; Mr. E. Fast, of London; Mr. Charles Schaff, of Cincinnati, and Mrs. B. Brewster and Miss M. CClrtis, of New York.

It was an invasion of his territory,' for as everyone knows .Henry made t-ho; first American drink shaken together in Paris and any new .conco'ction that Henry approves of must emanate from the. brain of Henry. Still he refrained from making any sarcastic remarks upon the degeneracy of taste the present generation displays in the matter of mixed drinks, contenting ihimself with looking at me in a sympathetic manner as I put myself out-; side the cooling punch. * ] "Johnny" àt the Chatham was so busy making "sours" that it was several minutes before I got him started agitating the necessary ingredients for a HERALD Punch.

which would become popular. Tho same was said at Fouquiet's, in th© ChampsElysées, while at the bar in the basement of the Elysée Palace Hotel the information was imparted by the imposing director of the ice and bitters department that the HERALD Punch as well as every other American drink, old or new, could be had.
I then went. to a bar, which had a sign up "American Drinks," but which for cer-'

Parenthetically, I may state that this query is-entirely uncalled for, inasmuch; as the coincidence of a certain man calling for a particular drink would indicate to an": ordinary individual that the man knew what he was doing, and was prepared for the worst. But "barkeeps," as a rule, can .no more resist the temptation to ask leading questions than the barber who always asks the man who hasn't a hair on his head if he wishes a shave. I!

While the mixer of drinks was producing the pleasing sound; that results from stirring cracked ice in a glass, I a&iked him what he thought of the new drink. Being a youth addicted to thinking deeply before speaking, hd waited until he had poured the concoction into a glass, and then said:— i "It 's a good drink; many of. our eustoniers like it, but I think it's mor© like a 'ladies' ' drink.
